Chapter 356 Encountering Bandits on the Road
This matter between the Xu family and the Xin family is no secret in the eyes of the real powerful people. No one knows how many spies these people have. Lin Yao is not surprised that she knows Xin An. Doesn’t the emperor know it too?
"In fact, it's just a business. If I have to say anything, it's just that the Xu family wants a large quantity, so my father gave me a larger profit margin, that's all."
Lin Yao laughed, "I told you not to be nervous, I just asked."
"If you ask me, I will definitely tell you, that is..."
Xin An sighed and lowered her voice, saying that the Xin family was just a merchant family, and it was a great achievement for them to marry into a marquisate. Even if there was a marquisate, her father would try to keep a low profile in Huaijiang, and would not easily mention the word marquisate, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the marquisates.
The Xu family was naturally terrified when they came to the door. They were even more worried when they learned that the Xu family had a prince, fearing that they would be involved in something. "There are no scholars in the Xin family, and my father doesn't expect to rise to prominence. He just wants to make more money and become a rich man. He feels very insecure."
"To be honest, you are still ignorant and timid."
No matter how wealthy a businessman is, what does he count for in front of the real powerful?
She didn't say anything nonsense.
Lin Yao smiled and patted her hands. She understood what was going on. She was afraid that the Xu family was trying to win over the Xin family. How could the Xin family, a mere merchant family, dare to say no? Even if the Marquis' Mansion was facing the Xu family, it would have to retreat.
If the old marquis had not retreated at the right time or had still had the confidence, of course, it is possible that the emperor would have found some reason to deal with him long ago.
But no matter what, it is a fact that the Xin family was won over by the Xu family, and the second prince's purse has been secured.
Xin An made a bitter face and said, "Sister Lin, it's so difficult for me."
"Sometimes I think that I am a burden to my father. If I hadn't married into the Marquis' Mansion, my father..."
"Your father has already been taken advantage of by others."
Lin Yao smiled and said, "Without the Marquis's Mansion behind him, your father would be a big piece of fat meat, the kind that is so fat that it is oozing with oil."
"It's not easy for any of us. We are always weighing the pros and cons and striving for the greatest benefit for ourselves. I think your father is the smartest."
Xin An smiled helplessly, "It's a pity that none of my sons like to study. If there were one or two who could study, it would be great if they could become officials in the court. It's not comfortable to rely on others all the time, and it's also very expensive."
“Making money is like a trickle, spending money is like a torrent.”
Lin Yao laughed, and felt that her description was very appropriate. "It's not appropriate for you to say this in front of me. It should be said that it's not appropriate for you to say this in front of anyone. You are richer than many people."
Yan Wenhui came over with a smile. Lin Yao quickly stood up and helped her sit down. Seeing her carefully stroking her belly, Xin An suddenly realized, "Sister Yan is pregnant?"
Yan Wenhui's smile was more loving than before. "It's been almost four months."
"I didn't know anything about it. It's not too late to say congratulations now."
Xin An looked at her belly with a smile and found that there were quite a few pregnant women around her. Not to mention those at home, the second prince, her cousin's wife, and Yan Wenhui were all rushing to give birth.
"It's not too late at all. It wasn't mentioned earlier, so not many people knew about it."
Xin An's eyes fell on Lin Yao's belly again. Lin Yao said, "Don't look at me. I don't have any."
I'm so worried. We've been married for so long, why is there still no news?
Seeing that everyone was giving birth, she was still very anxious.
"But you, why haven't you made any movement yet?"
Xin An smiled and said she was not in a hurry, "There will be three children in the mansion soon, and one more won't be a problem. Just take your time."
Lin Yao said that Tang Rong had a concubine again, "I'm afraid that when she returns from her post, she will have more than three children, a whole bunch. I'll see if you and Tang Erdi are jealous."
What Lin Yao didn't say was that the fact that Tang Rong had many offspring had been mentioned many times by some old ladies. In their eyes, this was what filial children were like. They kept having children once they got married, and had three children within a year of getting married. This made some old ladies very envious, and they even said that an outstanding son must also be outstanding in having offspring.
At the same time, the filial grandson Tang Rong had been on the road to his new post for five days. He was already far away from the capital. It would take him another ten days to reach his new post. Two days of traveling had made him look tired.
Aunt Cao served at his side, carefully and attentively, but Tang Rong didn't like her very much.
There was no other reason, it was just that Aunt Cao was born rather ordinary, much inferior to Tao Yiran in appearance, and even worse than the other two concubines, which made Tang Rong very dissatisfied.
But no matter how dissatisfied she was, Aunt Cao still had a family that was barely acceptable. Although her father did not hold a high position, he had a brother who was somewhat capable. If he could be promoted, he would have a bright future.
"The road is bumpy and uncomfortable, you should rest more."
Aunt Cao sat at one side politely, not daring to speak. She had already sensed Tang Rong's dislike for her.
"Prince, we will reach Yuzhou after we pass through the forest ahead."
The guards began to put people on alert, as there was no peace outside the capital, especially in the forests which were not very bright.
Tang Rong said that they would enter the city after crossing the forest and find an inn to have a good rest at night.
The carriage entered the woods, startling the birds on the branches and causing them to fly around, but then everything returned to normal. At this moment, the only sound that could be heard throughout the forest was the sound of horse hooves, which was somewhat creepy. The driver could not help but speed up, wanting to rush out of the forest as quickly as possible.
Just when they were about to see the dawn, the horse suddenly neighed, and then rushed forward. Before everyone could come to their senses, the carriage had already overturned. Then a group of bandits rushed out of the woods and prepared to start looting. The guards hurriedly fought them. Fortunately, Tang Gang was worried about Tang Rong's safety, and the guards he gave him were all well-trained. Soon a bandit fell, and in less than half an incense stick of time, the remaining bandits hid deep in the woods.
The guards did not chase after him and were busy rescuing Tang Rong. Fortunately, the carriage behind him was safe and sound. The accompanying doctor got off the carriage and went forward to check.
Tang Rong was dragged out, with a cut on his head and scratches on his arm. Aunt Cao was fine, though. When the carriage was about to overturn, she grabbed Tang Rong and eventually fell on him. She only had a hit on the head, so it was no big deal.
Everyone hurriedly helped Tang Rong up. At this point, everyone believed that Tang Rong was possessed by the god of misfortune. He was like this in the mansion and he was still like this after leaving the capital. No one in the group was injured except him and a horse.
"Please get in the car, my lord. We need to get out of this forest as soon as possible."
Tang Rong's face turned pale. He glanced at the lifeless bandit lying on the ground, sent someone to report to the police, and then turned around and got on the carriage behind.
At night, people from the government office arrived with gifts, saying they wanted to thank Tang Rong for helping them clear out the bandits. "Your Highness, you don't know that this group of bandits relies on the mountains and forests to commit crimes in this area. If any wealthy businessman passes by, they will be killed by them. They have to leave some money."
"We suffered heavy casualties today when we encountered the prince. I think they won't dare to come out in the short term. The government will send more troops to encircle and suppress them, and this road will be peaceful in the future."
After being flattered, Tang Rong could not say anything except that he was also fighting against evil and protecting the good. He could only blame himself for his bad luck.
